Fundraising

A single fundraising card will be included in the registration fee for each player (Travel and In House) at the value of $20.  EPBBA is using this method of raising funds to fund scholarships for players from K-12.  Some other programs ask players to sell a number of cards or get corporate sponsors.   We are utilizing this program and will distribute the single card (for each player) at their first game or practice."

Grades 4-8:

• There are 2 offerings for Grades 4-8: (1) In-House and (2) Travel
• All boys trying out for any of the travel teams must register by September 16, 2020.  No registrations will be allowed during the first day of travel tryouts.
• Complete information (including travel fees) on both programs can be found at www.epbba.org by clicking on the appropriate grade or the Travel Grades 4-8 at the top of the screen.

Travel Basketball Grades 4-8:
